Breath of the Wild: All Main Quests

Route by atz

Special thanks to Raptor, Fig, SampleName_ and Sephyx for helping with a lot of different sections and timing!


This route does not use any Amiibo.

For reference on why certain paths were chosen, or why we do the shrines that we do, I've provided spreadsheet filled with different timings/information on shrines and routing options. If you're interested in those things, here you go:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pJBCXjVv6K7XKXVjhlkeB77JTO9uJbiqCRYjz789lHQ/edit?usp=sharing
Note: This is currently a WIP, I will be adding more information to the spreadsheet when I find more time to transfer notes over, or think of new ideas.
